What are your general comments?
The interviews and people doing the interviews are laid back and friendly. The other interviewees are also really friendly. But the facilities are really bad and it's hard to consider paying 40K a year for that kind of environment. Dr. Beckman, the dean of admissions, is a really cool lady. Cracks me up.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Both of my interviews were very laid back. It really felt like I was just talking to someone at a park, not for a medical school interview. I was asked by one of my interviewers how bad the deliquency of Asian youth was in my hometown.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read up on this site, looked over my AMCAS and secondary, asked a friend who was a doctor about issues he was facing in healthcare.
What impressed you positively?
The other interviewees were friendly and laid back, even made some new friends through the interview.
What impressed you negatively?
The schools facilities, they were horrible. I also didn't like the fact that they fail to mention that the class is full around this time, so you are just interviewing to get waitlisted. They beat around the bush when asked about the class being full. Luckily, I'm from the area, it really sucks for the people who had to fly in.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the class was full.
